HOMEWORKS of Alabama are builders of original, masterful, homes in Auburn, like the one I viewed at 1558 Club Creek Court. This particular home, a blue-ribbon winner, awarded by the East Alabama Women’s Council of REALTORS, is on tour for you this Saturday and Sunday, June 12th & 13th.
News hitting close to home presents us with recent flooding in Tennessee, foreclosures flooding the housing market, and now, a frightening, flightless fate for birds in the Gulf. These stories can leave our outlook with a deficit of joy. Beauty offers a contrast of images for a balanced perspective, sometimes catching us by surprise.
This week's tour of the beautiful Club Creek Court home at Yarbrough Farms was, for me, an unexpected gift of vision. This one-of-a-kind, semi-custom masterpiece was built by HOMEWORKS of Alabama (Allan and Lisa Campfield). It is one of those luscious illustrations of beauty, harmony, balance, joy, precision and compassion. The design incorporates principles of music, art and architecture. Like a stroll through a forest or a museum, it brought a connection to my heart. Uplifting as a kite for a string of sadness, an impression of beauty can inspire a surge of clarity or a call to action. It can fortify the connections we already have or multiply our gratitude for the new day.
Like ebb and flow, warp and weave, yin and yang, the range of gifts and assigned elements are perfectly complemented. Allan and his two sons, Joshua and Brandon, manage the construction process, while Lisa, a design professional, selects the palettes for colors, lighting, flooring, placement and poise. The feeling is indulgent and inviting, simple lines and forms that integrate the outdoors with the interior.
A bite of beauty is nourishment for the heart. A vision of beauty can assist us in the imagination needed for solutions…restoration, results, rekindling of relationships, and remembering what matters, like HOME...

Glorious work by this homebuilder Mara. Stunning photos too. You are lucky to have them there.
Mara, that is just stunning! I would love to see this home in person.......and maybe sit out by the pool for a little while. That pool picture is so inviting!
Hi Mara! Glad that you got some joy out of the day touring this gorgeous home! And the photos are just stunning too!
Hi Mara, Gorgeous presentation of a gorgeous home! You did a wonderful job on the brochure and photos, and you're right - art and beauty do refresh us and give us a new perpective. I can see how this property could do just that.
What a stunning spotlight Mara !!!
I love love this gorgeous home ! Wow !
Talk about a place you yearn to come home to each night !
Very nicely presented my friend :o)
Gary - yes, I feel Auburn is fortunate to have this level of craftsmanship and vision, and the integrity is transparent on every level.
Ann - you have until 5:00 today (Sunday) to get here! I'll get you an ice coffee and crumpet :-)
Debe - Thank you!
Mary - I seem to retain a heart and longing for the beauty of the north with its mountains (which is why I love all your blog pics :-). Discovering the setting and unique designing of this home on "The Plains" of Auburn was so refreshing to me.
Sheldon - Thank you! This special home did feel like a resort in some ways. A perfect space to enjoy family and recharge every day after work.
What a delicious bite of beauty. You have an incredible eye and I adore the way you share your talent. Your photos, your framing, your composition are exquisite.

Mara this looks like a truly amazing home! I am sure just taking a walk through is enjoyable.
Great presentation of a fantastic property! Can you share with us what software you used to create the brochure? I have a new listing coming on the market next week that I want to treat extra special and I'm really inspired by what you've done.....
Margaret - well hello! Thank you for stopping by. As you know, art inspires me :-)
Bill - It's not surprisingat all that Homeworks of Alabama are the top winners of the Women's Council of Realtors TOUR.
Michael - thank you :-) I just play around in Microsof WORD (now 2007) to do my flyers. I would guess that Publisher has better applications, but I haven't used that program. Feel free to phone me, and I'll be happy to share whatever I can.
This was a beautiful presentation. How is my beautiful Mara doing?
Great post! Very beautiful presentation for very beautiful home! And very beautiful pictures!

Absolutely beautiful homes; there really isn't any limit one can go these days for custom work.
